What is Founders Day?

Founders Day is an annual celebration of Bushnell University’s legacy of wisdom, faith, and service. Students, alumni, and friends celebrate together with events on campus and an online giving day swag raffle.

This year, we are also hosting Founders Weekend festivities October 19-20, to celebrate the successful completion of the Venture Forward campaign and the renovation of Goodrich Hall and Bell Tower.
